"Sheffield's more diverse than the Arctic Monkeys and all the 'New Yorkshire' bollocks" says Will B.
This mixtape's a homage to some modern Sheffield artists that are just as, perhaps even more, deserving of the Arc-tits Monkey's fame but were overlooked by the NME/myspace hype machines.
For those of you not in the know, or didn't take the time to peruse the Sheffield wiki entry in order to seem like cultural experts, Sheffield (the steel city) has given us such musical gems as the Human League, Joe Cocker and the Arctic Monkeys. It's also the birthplace of Warp Records, boner-inducing electronica label and home of Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada.
Enjoy

I love the "Monkey Swallows the Universe" track.
Two Thumbs up Will! Sick Mixtape!
For some reason, the "Monkeys" track is playing at double speed...
So listen to it here until I fix it:

You can also download it free.
It plays at double speed because its sampling rate is less than 44.1 kHz. I just resolved a problem like that with my music yesterday. You can read about it here:
